SPJST Member Service Program
Dear Members, SPJST cares greatly about you and your family. We want our members to think of SPJST as “number one” for service and fraternal benefits. With that in mind and to coordinate with the Heritage ’09 membership campaign, we proudly introduce the “SPJST Member Service Program.” Currently, we are training sales agents to review your certificate and ensure that all information we have at the Home Office is correct. Your sales agent of record on the insurance certificate will be contacting you soon to set up an appointment with you. If you do not have a sales agent of record, we will assign one to you. Sales agents will review items like name changes, contact information, beneficiary designations, and answer questions about your certificates and membership in general. We want to ensure that you will not encounter any problems in your time of need or that your loved one does not experience any time loss in collecting benefits on your SPJST certificate. Also, if you need more life insurance coverage, your agent will discuss coverage needs with you. When an agent calls, we kindly ask that you please allow time for the agent to review your certificate. If at any time you have any questions, please call the SPJST Insurance Department toll free (800) 727-7578. We look forward to serving you. Fraternally,
